Walking Guides

GOOD WALKING GUIDES should be clear, attractive, intuitive, and informative.

Successful walking guides encourage visitors to explore and enjoy your site; convey key messages; spread the load, and help manage common problems such as litter, erosion, and disturbance to wildlife.

Walking guides

A walking guide should fit easily into a pocket, be easy to fold and manage outdoors, and present carefully chosen, themed and tested routes to suit walkers of all ages, abilities and interests.

Walking guides

Our walking guides use a combination of:

    • Striking covers
    • Clever folding
    • Introductions evoking spirit of place
    • Historical and wildlife background notes
    • Timelines
    • Key management messages
    • General location maps
    • Clear, annotated walking maps
    • Themed titles
    • Walks precis,
    • Distance, duration and difficulty information
